| Hubbell 5362W vs. 5362WWR Tls,Thanks for your response. I returned the outlets and will wait until Cabledyne gets more 5362's in stock.Jeff | |
| Upgrade advice please Mesch, Gadawg,Thanks for your responses.I'm a real newbie in this area; currently I've been downloading music from the Linn and Naim websites (studio master 192k files) to my hard drive; I'm using iTunes on my PC, so I'm downloading these in ALAC.... | |
| Rega Saturn-R; Any impressions? Rfprice,Thanks for the information; yes...until I bought my Elicit-R, I had an Arcam Alpha 9 power and integrated amp, which I bi-amped with my B&W 805S speakers. I'm now bi-wiring with the Rega, and it sounds quite good.The Saturn-R will most... | |
| Rega Saturn-R; Any impressions? Rfprice,I second that; I'm a Rega Elicit-R owner, considering seriously the Saturn-R, not only for the CD side of the unit, but also for the DAC side.Interested in the answers you get; I posted a question similar to yours in the digital forum, and... | |
| A49 Arcam Paul,I'm not in any way implying that Arcam would be in the same league as Accuphase; I was only trying to tell the OP that we should be getting more information about the A49 (and C49, P49) soon.I keep checking the Arcam website, and there's no i... | |
| A49 Arcam Arcam was my introduction into better audio; my Alpha 9 integrated and power amps are now in the closet; my CD sources remain the Alpha 9 CD player and the Alpha MCD multi-disc player. I have the most regard for Arcam; can't wait to see reviews of... | |
| A49 Arcam I would imagine Arcam will fill the gap with new products.The A49 will list for around $5,000; it's designed in the UK, and built in the US, in Rochester, NY. I would expect to see an A29 and A39 eventually...just guessing.Jeff | |
| A49 Arcam I understand Arcam will be releasing the model later this month; other than some brief mentions, I have not seen any reviews on the amplifier.I'm interested not only in the A49, but Arcam is also releasing the C49 preamp and the P49 power amp; wil... | |
| Best sounding integrated between $1500-$3000 I'm very happy with my new integrated, a Rega Elicit-R, which comes in at $3K...your upper limit.Very musical, good detail, at 105wpc, decent power; nice phono stage. I would highly recommend it. I bi-wire it (Kimber 12TC cable) with my B&W 80... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Sonic,Thanks for your feedback; I plan to replace the outlets.Jeff | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp How about running an Arcam FMJ 38 as your 2-channel amp? Keep it in the family, as it were. You may be able to find one, used, in your price range.Jeff | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Hello group,Very interesting discussion. Quick question: I am running my system out of a Furman Reference 15i power conditioner; I'm also using Shunyata Venom power cords with my components.Would buying a better outlet make a difference, or would ... | |
| Problem with Linn radio Problem solved. Right-clicking on the link fixed it; something I didn't have to do before, and suspect a Flash update may have changed things up.Thanks for reading,Jeff | |
| Amp ventilation question Glen,Good to hear about the PM8004; I am a Marantz guy, too. My SR7005 sounds wonderful.Jeff | |
| Amp ventilation question Paraneer,You're absolutely right: it is a bit overkill getting an extra pre-amp, which is what I'd be getting with two Marantz PM15S2's. I would prefer a power amp/integrated, but Marantz is not offering that option.That's what I currently do: I b... |
